btw...I luv your font size. it fits perfect on 48,0681 x 32,253 resolution.

Well, as for the font size, well, I wanted it to be easily readable.

If you can't find a slide rule locally or on Ebay, you could always make your own from the templates available here:

I built the Yokota Log-Log rule at that site, and it works well for this. Don't build the first one (unless you want to just for fun), because it lacks the S scale.

There are also some nifty Java slide rule simulation pages here:
